H1–H6 heading structure is broken in Ateiler theme (cannot fix it)

Ask & Offer
1

Hello everyone,
I’m using the latest version of the Ateiler theme on my Shopify store. However, my page headings (H1–H6 structure) look completely disorganized, and I can’t fix it no matter what I try.

When I check with Semust SEO Toolbar, I see that several H4 tags (like “Account” or “Your cart is empty”) appear in system areas that shouldn’t affect SEO.
I’ve properly set my H1 and H2 tags on product pages, but the overall hierarchy still looks messy.

As shown in the screenshot:

  • 1 H1

  • 5 H2

  • 10 H3

  • 5 H4

  • 0 H5/H6

I’ve tried adjusting them in the theme editor, via GemPages, and directly in the code — but nothing worked.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Is there any way to fix or reorder heading tags correctly in the Ateiler theme?

Thank you!

Thanks for your reply!
That’s great to hear — could you please explain how to re-arrange it?
I’m using the latest version of the Ateiler theme, and I couldn’t find where to modify the heading hierarchy (H1–H6) in the theme code.
Any specific section or file I should look into?

Here’s how to modify heading hierarchy (H1-H6) in the Atelier theme:
Step 1: Access Theme Code

Go to your Shopify Admin
Navigate to Online Store > Themes
Click the three dots (…) next to your Atelier theme
Select Edit code

Step 2: Key Files to Check
For Product Pages:

Look in sections/product-template.liquid or sections/main-product.liquid
Search for <h1, <h2, etc. to find existing headings
Product titles are typically H1 tags

For Collection Pages:

Check sections/collection-template.liquid or sections/main-collection.liquid
Collection titles and product card titles are here

For Homepage/General Sections:

Individual section files in the sections/ folder
Common ones: header.liquid, featured-collection.liquid, featured-product.liquid

Step 3: Make Changes
Find lines like:
liquid{{ product.title }}
Change to your desired heading level:
liquid{{ product.title }}

Don’t blindly follow the advice of some free thing without having a very solid understanding of SEO.

Hi @fohm11 it’s not even clear what the issue is.
You’d have to go in an heavily modify all the heading logic in the theme to take control of the entire heirarchy.
An advanced theme customization waaay beyond the scope of the forums.

“(H1–H6 structure) look completely disorganized”
Doesn’t actually mean anything, there’s only supposed to one H1 heading then the rest are completlely contextual to actual content and in non way are supposed to always be equally distributed if that’s what you think “organized” is supposed to mean.

Don’t blindly follow the advice of some free browser addon without having a very solid understanding of SEO.

Thanks for the detailed steps!
In my theme, those exact filenames don’t exist. :confused:

Thanks for your comment, Paul.
I completely understand your point. However, I’m checking my structure not just through random browser plugins, but using Semrush, Ahrefs, and Semust SEO Toolbar — all of which show clear heading inconsistencies.

I also checked several of my competitors’ Shopify stores that use similar modern themes, and none of them have this kind of heading disorder.
That’s why I believe the issue is coming from the theme’s source structure, not from SEO misunderstanding or tool error.

Still, I appreciate your feedback — I’m just trying to make sure the heading hierarchy in the theme is technically clean and SEO-friendly.

Ok, can you explain in simple words what’s wrong with your headings and what you want to achieve and how it affects your SEO.

Do you mean your H4 are output before H1?

Of course, you may dig into your theme code and make multiple changes – this is a great way to end up with a theme you would not be able to update easily when newer version will be published.

Not only liquid code – you’d need to amend CSS as well.

Is it worth it?

Hello @fohm11
How are you ?**
**

  • Go to your Shopify Admin → Online Store → Themes → Edit Code.
  • In the search bar (top left), type:

    or

    to find all heading tags in your theme.

  • When you find headings like:

Account

Your cart is empty

Change them to: Account Your cart is empty - Keep only one

per page — usually your product title or main page heading. - Make subheadings

and

only for important content areas (like product info, features, FAQs, etc.). - Click Save after each file change. - Finally, recheck your page using Semrush SEO Toolbar or Ahrefs Toolbar — it should now show a clean hierarchy like: 1 H1 2–4 H2 3–6 H3 0 H4–H6
